It seems this should have happened before 1.9 was even started. Now that 
we are up to RC4, I agree with Sylvie and think this should go into 1.10 
and be back-ported. 1.9 could have a caveat that there is a mix of code 
which is being cleaned up. Howeber breaking the 1.9 process like this 
seems reckless.

If the consensus is that 1.9 can't go out with mixed licenses then we 
should consider removing the offending functionality from 1.9 
altogether. Turning the 1.9 release with reduced functionality, and then 
fixing things in 1.10. This could impact a fewer number of 1.9 users, 
allow the 1.9 release to go forward, demonstrate the importance of 
sticking to the licenses.
